Overall Satisfaction with Ceridian Dayforce

Dayforce is our HRIS. We use Dayforce and Ceridian also to process our payroll.
  • Payroll
  • Timesheets
  • Performance Management
  • Their Account Receivable department is pretty stretch thin
  • Tax support
  • Professional Services are hit-and-miss
  • It's hard to credit Dayforce with increase productivity but doesn't seem to get in the way
  • Dayforce is available
  • Dayforce is easily accessed by SSO
We, thankfully, don't have a lot of Union compliance and in depth requirements for our business process. Dayforce does support our payroll compliance for ACA reporting and year end tax reporting and other new hire reporting and EEO reporting. We also store our vacation and sick policies in Dayforce to be compliant with overtime policies as well.
The single employee record is fantastic. Dayforce is fast and when we make a change to an employee the data is quickly available and there is very little time taken to refresh the reports and output. We use Dayforce to daily to support management decisions around compensation and the status of the employees, eg. active, on leave, etc.
Having a single employee record and an integrated solution has been on of the best things about the Dayforce platform. Especially with the timesheet program. Previously we had a lot of trouble interfacing the HR system with our timesheet tracking. Similarly we use Dayforce for performance and compensation and having a single source of truth helps a lot.

We like Dayforce. It's our core HR system that we use many modules in. Dayforce is our payroll provider and handles all of our year end reporting and ACA forms and W2s. In fact, we are a managed services client and we ask Ceridian to handle committing our payroll and benefits module.
